Intelligence officials report terrorist infiltration

A notice sent to Anti-Terror Department offices said that some of the terrorists have already crossed the Turkish border to go to other countries and said the group was organized by a member of the PKK, who has the capacity to "raise money and arms."

The police will tighten security around diplomatic representations and of the said countries in line with the notice.

The PKK has bases in northern Iraq and Turkey said it wanted to send troops to the region to prevent terrorist infiltration into its territory.

The government has withdrawn its plans to immediately send troops to northern Iraq after assurances from the United States, which has designated the PKK as a terrorist group.

In 1991, dozens of PKK terrorists infiltrated into Turkey during a refugee wave that involved some 500,000 Iraqi Kurds. They pretended to be refugees.
